libbyshuss Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Aachen - Germany 2026/27 (season 4) - 3.Liga Season Summary Another case of so close yet so far! It was a season with a strong start, a strong finish and a dodgy middle. The strong start put uis in the top 2, and the strong finish got us into the top 3 and a play-off position. Very nice! And, the form we were in around the winter break, unexpected. we were all over the shop then. get a good win, draw against someone rubbish, lose against someone mid-table. Argh! Anyway, the play-offs! second time! was it second time lucky? was it heck.... That first leg result really did us in Players It was a season marked by the emergence of Colin Nieheus 25D though. He was down to be given a handful of starts during the season by me, and up 'til christmas that was what happened. He filled in 3 times, scored 3 times, and looked really good. Then an injury meant he had a chance at a run of games and he really took it! I even ended up changing the tactic to accomadate him once Maus, our top striker, came back. It's no exaggeration to say our really strong finish was down to him either - he was great. And look how good he is now the seasons ended! If I don't get promoted soon then he's going to be asking for a move. He's way too good. Luckily I have him signed up for another 2 years with 2 years optional extension so hopefully I'll only have to sell him for crazy money. Be interesting to see how he does in his first full season next season! Daniel Calvo 24A is another first team regular now too, so 2 of my intakes have made it to the starting XI do far, which isn't too bad. Youth Another strange promise of a golden generation but with C grades all round. and the intake was similarly lacking in excitement, despite the golden generation promise top player? This fella, maybe. None of them look dead on certs to make it tbh but you never know Career 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Season 2036/37 Preseason was rough, we lost our lynchpin DM who developed as we developed if that makes sense? He held the tactic together basically, it felt like a massive loss. He went for £600K which was his minimum release clause, agents love to bake these in here So I was left with 2 kids or try and retrain star LB Matushev into the DM slot, which I did but then it left us weak at LB. So I started rotating in the two kids, who have the potential but don't like to train hard (or play well). I'll stick with them, they're only 17 and 18 but they have me tearing my hair out Preseason we also linked up with Man U, who haven't sent us anyone yet Spoiler I don't know how we did it, but we qualified for Europe again, we were 7th and 8th most of the season, we didn't lay a glove on the top 2, we did get some points from Ludogorets and Botec Plovdiv, then went and won 3-0 for 3 consecutive games to qualify Star striker Ivan Mitrev had a very average season but he's getting some attention Spoiler Spoiler We brought through a fair few kids this year, we've too many for some positions and are extremely light in others. As you'll see, we have loads of RBs and one LB, loads of left footed attackers and a pants DM Jimmy Kabamba has just come into the team for those 3-0's and got himself a POTM, what a lad Spoiler Preview was alright but I don't know why an AMC is always the stand out, he's getting converted into a striker. If we had some DMs, I might be able to play 4-2-3-1 DM someday Lukas Hancott is one of our English lads, he went on loan and we sold off some diva kids as well as Kokov *cries I expect another crazy season with Europe, it should help get an upgrade or two and we move into the new stadium the end of next month I'm praying the HOY brings me a DM. A few players will be leaving when their contract ends this summer, guys that have come through the academy and picked up 250+ appearances but just don't make the grade anymore, I feel a bit sad really 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weed07 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Crewe United - Season Nine 31/32 Danske Bank Premiership Season Summary Nothing major happened in pre-season so with our 2nd place finish last season we were in the Europa Conference league qualifiers again, last season we didn't get past the first round and the furthest we've been so far is the third round so I was hoping for a better run this year and we started against Rangers FC from Andorra, an club unknown to me. We were at home for the first leg and smashed them 10-0 with 5 goals in each half to record our biggest ever win, I wasn't expecting us to be as good away but we went one better and smashed them 11-0 with 5 in the first and 6 in the second half to record my biggest ever aggregate win on any FM 21-0. We were drawn against Romanian side FC Rapid in the second qualifying round full of confidence but we lost 3-2 away but then beat them 3-1 at home to progress but we weren't as convincing as the first round. For the third round we were against Portuguese side Farense which on paper seemed to be the easiest side we have faced at this round of the competition so I was hopeful we could get into the fourth round for the first time but we fell short again as we lost the first leg at home 1-0 and although we were much better in the away leg we could only manage a 1-1 draw and were knocked out. Onto the domestic football and the season preview had us predicted to finish 5th with odds of 25/1 to win the league which isn't too bad but after two 2nd place finishes in the last 2 years I was hoping to challenge for the title this year. We got off to a poor start in the league losing 3-1 away to one of our main rivals Linfield but we are better than most other clubs and went unbeaten in league and cup games until losing 1-0 away to Glentoran at the start of October, it didn't set us back though as we then went on a massive unbeaten run of 40 games in all competitions which included 18 straight wins, we also won 14 in a row in the league with a unbeaten run of 29. all those were new club and league records. Despite the excellent league form we were only second in the league to Linfield and with 2 games left to play we played them at home, a win would take us above them as only goal difference separated us but they came for a draw and neither team created much, they took the lead before we levelled via a pen, then late in the game we got another pen to gain the win we needed but missed it and the game ended 1-1. in our last league game we were at home to Cliftonville and we needed to win by more than 4 goals to what Linfield win by or better their result. Linfield scored early and we went 2 up early on so if their score remained the same we needed to score 3 more goals so I went more attacking and we conceded before then going 3-1 and then conceded again, with 10 minutes left they were still winning 1-0 so we needed at least 4 goals to win the league so I went all out attack but it back fired and we conceded 2 late goals on counter attacks, their winner after my keeper went up for a corner and we lost 4-3, thankfully Linfield ended up winning 2-0 so our loss didn't matter but it could have been worse if we lost and they drew, I had to go for it though and our best season ended in our third runners up, our 89 points was a new record high for a team to not win the league. Although the league ended in disappointment we did have cup success collecting all 3 trophies, we retained the Mid Ulster cup winning it for the 3rd time in 4 years, we won our first Bet McLean cup and we won the Northern Irish cup for the second time, we also beat Linfield in the Northern Irish and Bet McLean cup finals which makes up a little bit for missing out on the league to them. Overall a good season, our best so far in terms of domestic cups and best ever league finish in points, broke several records and narrowly missed out on the league again, the league win won't be far away but we do look a long way off the quality in Europe. The league table: Spoiler Our youth preview was the worst we've had so far, I'm not sure if thats because our player quality is better or if we need a better HOY and youth coaches, maybe both. It did say an excellent intake preview but the grades were rubbish. Spoiler Our actual intake was better than the preview with 5 Elite players although only really 1 player looks good enough for the first team, a centre back which is an area where we are starting to look weak: Spoiler The best player: We still have money from player sales a couple of seasons ago so the board agreed to more facility upgrades, we also had to upgrade our youth recruitment again, it was the best but for some reason went down without me being notified but it was upgraded back to max. Our Facilities and club profile: Spoiler I entered the Northern Ireland Hall of Fame following our cup wins: Spoiler Supporters Profile: Spoiler Competitions: Spoiler My Manager, i also hit the 400 game milestone: Spoiler Transfers, nothing major but more players are now hitting a point where they are no longer good enough and never will be so I'm trying to thin the squad and sell or release them. I did however also sell a sell on free from our record sell as Everton aren't playing him so he might rot in their reserves so I cashed in for another £6.71m. Spoiler End of year awards were good as my players won the domestic youth ones again after a year of missing out last season and my striker who got 11 goals in 6 Europe Conference games thanks to those two big wins won the young player award in that competition and was runner up for the top scorer. Awards and Records: Spoiler Our reserves won their league for the 2nd time: Spoiler In Europe the NI league moved up the work rankings and the co-efficient ranks, we also moved up the rankings. The move up for the Nation means from next season 2nd place in the league goes into the Europa League rather than the Conference which is good for us if we finish 2nd again: Spoiler Some spreadsheet data: Spoiler Club info: Season Stats: Manager Info: Next season all I want is to win the league after being runners up the last two, anything else is a bonus. I would also like to progress further in Europe but I feel we are still far away from that. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So despite the fact that my whole team was developed through the youth system, it only seemed to be focusing on those that were 'young'. I could be mistaken, I'll fire up an old save to see if I can find it happening to me too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mandatory release clauses are annoying on one hand, but prevent your players from getting mad on the other. Being in Spain has the advantage of a country with a high youth rating, so it's possible to get very good players even as a lower league side. I made it to the top half of LaLiga 2 before losing interest, but it was a fun journey and I'd recommend it . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gato_In_Goal Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Brønshøj BK - Youth Intake Season 15 Decent intake with no obvious standout players. I think this is mainly an effect of our squad improving significantly the last few seasons. Hopefully the top guys can develop smoothly and oush for the first team soon, since our squad is pretty depleted after the last two transfer windows. Don't know if this is just an FM thing, but we've seemingly produced a top GK prospect every intake. We already have one guy starting for us, one guys backing up for us, one guy starring on loan in the second division, and two more prospects in the youth teams. If Christoffersen 15b can slowly get those technical and mental attributes up, I can see him looking similar to Brandt 11e and playing a role for us. Mogensen 15c has some bad negatives, and needs to develop physically, but the potential is there somewhere. Spork 15d also has some potential there I think, we need reinforcements in the attacking third, so hopefully he can develop quick since he's already 16 and eligible to play. Rexhepi 15e has a fair bit of developing to do, so hope he has enough ambition and professionalism to get there. Finally, Petersen 15f has low potential according to the HOYD, but has the personality to reach it. Doesn't really fit into our midfield right now since we play a BWM(S), a BBM(S), and a SS(A). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Brønshøj BK - Review Season 15 We have completed the watershed moment, we are now an established club in Denmark. We're still a step behind the big 3 of Kobenhavn, Midtjylland, and Randers, but we're on the level of Brondby and Nordsjaelland and comfortably better than the bottom half of the league. Although even then, we pciked up a draw against Kobenhavn, two wins against Midtjylland, and a win against Randers throughout the course of the season. We ended up ahead of Brondby on goal difference and qualified for the Conference League again. This year we flamed out in the qualifying rounds when the board expected us to make the group stage, so hoping to improve on that. Our depth took a hit throughout the year as a few key players left and the youth didn't quite fill the gaps. They did kick on towards the end of the season and I expect them to get runs in the first team next season. Another metric of how established we are is that 3 of our players are heading to the 2038 World Cup. Banza 13a and Rami 12b are playing for the DRC and Morocco respectively, then Lauritzen 10c got the call up to the Danish national side! A smattering of 7 other players received call ups to the Danish team thoughout the season as well. We now should be third in line in term of youth recruitment, as us, Kobenhavn, and Midtjylland are the only clubs with maxed out recruitment. Key players: Spoiler We're still stuck unable to level up the youth facilities, but we're in a very secure financial position now mainly from player sales. We still don't come near to selling out our stadium, so I don't see the board messing with our healthy bank balance quite yet. It does feel like we're entering the window to actually have a shot at completing the challenge now, just need to string together a few more good intakes, build our reputation enough to hang on to our best players, and then just win. No transfers in, and we talked about fleecing Napoli for Lovgren Larsen 11g, Dortmund meeting the release clause for Nymand Sjolander 12g, and how the board accepted a bid from Bayern for Toft Kristiansen 12a. Other transfer of note was our club captain and striker who had 10 goals combined the past 2 seasons wanted to leave, so I sold him to OB, who then got relegated. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo_Geo Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 A little tip for anyone in a similar situation as me 7 seasons in regarding minimum fee release clauses. So we have the two options of working around minimum fee clauses in contract negotiations: Hire a DoF who does the negotiation for you and then you change the offer 1 day later Walk away from negotiations if the clause is locked in, advance a day and then resolve the issues with the agent stating they weren't flexible enough These are still valid but there is a spanner in the works......when the player wants a new contract and you get this screen: If you think there is a good chance they will look for a minimum fee release clause (you'll know when you know as you'll be at that part of the save where they want these fees still) then DO NOT discuss with the player saying you'll sit down to contract talks soon because it then means that option 2 above does not work. The reason being if you walk away from the negotiation you will upset the player that a promise was broken and you have to speak with them to repair it which means the option to resolve the contract talks with the agent is NOT present. I had this happen to one of my right backs and it took a long time for him to drop his concerns about promises being broken (luckily he wasn't an influential member of the squad). What I now do (and what I did for the Susterajter contract) is I don't do any of the options from the above (Discuss Contract with player, Ask agent to resolve and Ask influential player to resolve) and I go in to contract negotiations, where undoubtedly you have a the clause sitting there and locked in (for Susterajter he had £9.25m locked in), you can then do option 2 steps and get to the point where the contract is negotiated where you can remove it (or at least increase it) and then hopefully you get them to sign: In my case I really had to negotiate hard because he wanted over my max wage and I didn't want to lose control over bids that might come in so I added 10% sell on as the lower wage (even though he is responsible for 14.9% of the club's total wage bill now!) had to be countered in some way 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Neo_Geo Posted April 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2023 SAK 1914 END RB SALZBURG 16 YEAR DOMINANCE More Youth DetailsYouth Intake PreviewYouth Intake Top 5 Season Review Well that's the first part of the challenge complete......and much sooner than I had expected. We kept pace with RB Salzburg during the first 22 games before the split only being behind by 2 points. The first 3 games of the Championship group were at home and we got 9 points from them and continued with that form only dropping points at home to RB Salzburg with a 1-1 draw, we were on fire with 24 goals scored and 8 goals conceded in the 10 games post split. A huge factor in this was keeping players fresh which given we had been knocked out of Europe and the FA Cup we just had the league games whilst RB Salzburg had 2 more games in Europe and made it to the final of the FA Cup where they LOST on penalties to FK Austria Vienna which drained then further. I have to thank Sturm Graz for beating RB Salzburg 3 times last season which was a massive contributor to our success. We clinched the title with a dominant 3-0 home win over Wolfsberger AC where Mark Taylor smashed this beauty away to start the party: So the final game COULD have been a decider away to RB Salzburg and had it been the result may have been different but we outplayed them in a 2-1 win to finish 8 points clear. I really didn't see us stopping them any time soon as they were up the top of the Champions League group stage and we just couldn't get a win over them in the league for a number of seasons so like I say a massive dose of luck with Sturm Graz and getting knocked out of the additional competitions really helped us. Off the park the Champions League money was put to good use finally upgrading both training and youth facilities to take us nearer to maxed out facilities. NXGN saw the top 3 positions taken by SAK players and Taylor making 12th. I played Taylor a lot this season as his upper transfer value is £16m that puts him in the same bracket as Kern (Elite4) and Bogener (Elite5) so I favoured him more than Matko (Elite3) this year who appears to be capped at 4-ish potential ability but still puts the goals away in the league. Bogener (Elite5) is now classed as a wonderkid making him the first of the save. In Europe we played Rennes and Besiktas in the qualifiers winning 7-3 against Rennes (crazy 5-2 away win!) and 4-2 against Besiktas. The group stages went better than I thought and we just missed out on the play-off places which in hindsight now seems like it did us a huge favour (not that I think we'd have made it any further). It's still a massive step up but it looks like some of the players are now happy-ish to stay and I think Taylor is going to be huge. The only problem area at the moment is centre back and with 3 elite DCs this year I'm hoping one of these might make the grade in the long run as we really need that higher level of player there to be able to make inroads in Europe. What's the goal next season then? Keep the squad together and continue to challenge for the title and do a little better in Europe (we don't have the qualifiers this year now . Onwards to season 8! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DazRTaylor Posted April 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2023 Youth Candidates Season 2042/43 Macclesfield We received a pretty good preview: It was another good intake with one potential worldie! Look at those sweet words "One of the best players of his generation." The first time I have received that in this save. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WhiteCat33 Posted April 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) FC Elazig Spor Hamburg Season 13 2035-36 Oberliga Hamburg (Tier 5) Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5 | Season 6 | Season 7 |Season 8 | Season 9 | Season 10 | Season 11 | Season 12 | Statistics: Intro & 2030 (S8) | 2029 (S7) & 2028 (S6) | Master Sheet | Percentile Rankings (S9) | 2056 POR & BEL | Table Rebuild |GK Add & V.03 Link Competitions League: Would this 12th year in the Oberliga be our time to escape? Elazigspor had a fantastic season, which included a 29 match unbeaten run that was only broken by the recently relegated Wandsbek during an injury crisis that saw both their star offensive players [AML Assist & Scoring Striker] out for 2 months resulting in an anemic 0-1 loss. Hamburg's Turkish squad bounced back and combined with some fortunate dropped points found themselves top of the table after 32 of 36 Matches played: Lots of high-goal results for us inched our GD up close to Hamm United's +69. With one more win we were left with the final 3 matches of the season. Whoever was in charge of scheduling for the Oberliga must have wanted a true title fight because we had to play ALL 3 other Title Challengers to end the season: Win and we are Champions [and then able to fight in playoffs for promotion], lose any game and its a likely additional year down in T5. Match 1 – Home vs Ottenen [4th] We give up an early breakaway goal to their league-leading striker early in the 18’ but we equalize with our captain Can in the 29. There was hardly anything of quality for either side the rest of the match we seriously failed to penetrate into their box and only had 3 shots all game. We have to do much better in the next match against Hamm and really win if we want to take the title. Match 2 – Away vs Hamm [1st] This is the game to win. If we don’t win this game we can’t win the championship especially with that draw last week. Everyone is available and fit so its up to them to put in a performance of the season. They score early in the 14’ off a short throw play where we didn’t mark the backpost properly. In first half stoppage time our LB makes an awful mistake fouling in the box to give them a penalty which they convert. Brutal they have scored 2 of their 3 shots on target. Second half I change my CAM to my SS instead of AP and just 50 seconds into the first half his speed makes them commit a defensive error in the box and gifts us a FK just at the top of the box but we can’t convert.53’ they hit us on the counter and just slice through like butter and score.62’ they get a straight redcard and I throw it all forward to see what we can manage. 92’ we get a goal on a corner, but its way too little too late from an offense that just wasn’t good enough and a defense that couldn't hold them back. Match 3 – Home vs Meindorf We get an early goal in the 20’, but Hamm are up 2-0 aggainst their soft opponents so it doesn’t matter. We coast to the victory in the second half but its hollow as we won’t get the title. End of season table: Can Hamm finally get themselves promoted: Yes! Only silver lining is now we won't face them next year and its one-less challenger to contend with. Cup: Quarter Final As you can imagine i prioritized the league so when we had a match against Meindorf in the quarters they dominated our reserves 3-1. Hamm won the whole thing to do a T5 Double with the big surprise of the tournament being Lower League Croatia Hamburg (which does generate Croatian players) making the Semi-Final Squad: CA & Overview: Big development this year was the improvement of our DLP Ilyas Altun translating into good performances finally. Also our WBL Bartu Bascar becoming 'too good' for us with his Bundesliga 3 Potential actually a possibility if he continues to train well considering he now he is a top 3 player for us. Naturally our GK, AML & STC are all still Spoiler Data Hub: Statistics Excel: No need, the team is too-good for the league now so its pretty clear our stars are doing just fine. Transfers: The important loans are both my #2 & #3 GKs getting valuable first-team experience. Tunahan Senol played for the Bremen OL Champion squad (who you saw in the North Playoffs for Hamm) so that means he did very well. Then Adam Seman went to his native Slovakia to play in teh lower-leagues. His performances caught the attention of the Slovakian National team and he gets the award of being our first Youth International (even if it was a match to forget) Spoiler Development-wise the Loans seem to have done their job as all 4 players improved this year even with some questionable ratings Youth Academy Youth Intake Preview: Well that’s not good... Youth Intake: Yikes... The fact we still have Poor Youth Facilities is readily apparent in this intake. YI Player Highlights: Spoiler Only one I’m interested in is Vasfi Gezgin who could make a good attacking midfielder potentially if he develops and upgrades that potential. It’s a low bar to be a better AMR as our current starter isn’t super skilled. The high potential player is Rakan Ece, but I don’t see the path to get there Other than them I’ll just be taking the good personality players which again includes yet another GK as well as This LB could move in to become a DM-L. For money-sake I should just toss the rest though I might keep the Azerbejaini player, could be a backup Big man Academy Data: Using the CA Calculator we see this intake full top 5 average is still in the same range as usual however this intake continues the very obvious downtrend in talent of our top-intake player. That line is undeniable and is (IMO) the most important piece of data as we all know it is that 'star talent' that can make the difference. HOYD: He finally agreed to get an additional coaching badge and it improved his JPA/JPP again! I know my intakes aren't good right now and you can see the bad trend lines in the 'top talent' production but the club is broke and we still have essentially minimum facilities. Until we are flush with cash again and can consider upgrading I don't think I can find a natural HOYD who would be better than this guy who I think is slowly adapting to the HOYD role. Spoiler Head Coach Club Finances This is grim we lost almost 600k dollars this year! And why may you ask? DEBT SPIRAL! This may be my first club to see administration... Manager Thoughts We absolutely need to get promoted. The new stadium, which I think will bankrupt the club, should be finished this summer so we will see what (if any) difference 5000 seats make vs 1000. Can't see it being a 6M dollar difference but what do I know. I am very happy that Hamm got themselves promoted and out of our hair combined with no Hamburg sides getting demoted so next year we have again one less strong competitor to topple.

Daddy Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 2033/34 Season Review: Europe: Not much to say here. A fairly tough draw for a qualifier and two evenly matched-up teams. Unfortunately for us, we lost on penalties and our European adventure quickly ended. Ligat ONE ZERO - League Phase: We had a real struggle at the beginning of the season. Our wonderkid keeper left us, and his replacement broke his leg and was out for the season. It took about 10 matches for the former 3rd string keeper to find form, but not before he too missed some time. Once things stabilized we began climbing up the table and comfortably made the Championship Group. Ligat ONE ZERO - Championship Group: We only lost one match in the final ten, but unfortunately, that cost us a third-place finish and a shot at the Europa League. Regardless I'm very pleased with the results. At one point early in the season I was concerned my job would be in jeopardy. Transfers and league/facilities data: Just a little house cleaning. Moving on from some players that weren't good enough. Another State Cup win makes me now the only club Legend. Despite having a ton of money the club is not letting me upgrade the facilities that were downgraded. Youth Intake: No immediate world-beater, but a very deep intake for the future covering most of the positions. 2034/35 Season Preview: Expectations are up a little bit this season compared to the last few. As long as the team keep progressing I think a top 3 finish is feasible. Lacking at keeper as the two we have are average at best. really favorable draw here. It'd be a catasrophic failure to not make knockouts. I think top 8 is more than doable here. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grff Posted April 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2023 Al-Nojoom FC: 2028/29 Season Review A pretty encouraging season as we achieved our highest placed league finish to date with a 10th place finish. Our cup form continues to be terrible as we are yet to get anywhere near a Q-F. Players stats were better than last season as the majority showed better consistency. Youth intake was pretty decent as we took on a fair few. Transfers. Bad news on this front as we lose two key players on bosmans and two more to retirement. Season history Aims for next season Build on our 10th place finish Avoid losing any further key players Improve the financials 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Johnny Ace Posted April 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2023 Season 2037/38 Great season in the end, we were top going into the second half of the season, 2nd by the time the phases came in and third at the season end. Even though we lost out on top spot, I'd have taken 3rd at the start of the season, we finally landed some punches on the big dogs Europe was great fun too, it helped pay for a lot of upgrades but we didn't have the squad to cope, ended up being hammered by Newcastle to be eliminated Spoiler That was a massive turning point, as in turning down, we only won 3 games in 10 after that Another dent was caused by losing star defender Andrey Milev to Benfica, a nice fee and he deserved the move Preview was very meh I don't know why but my HOY hates DMs, his favourite formation is 4-2-3-1 DM and he hasn't brought me one in 3 years I only signed the players with good personalities, determination and potential I need a staff revamp in the summer Current squad, a left back emerged in the youth team so my star LB could be moved to DM Spoiler Jimmy Kabamba is off to the World Cup with Congo this summer 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gato_In_Goal Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 A new kid on the block winning some awards. We needed a true goalscorer up top and Johansen 13e spent last season on loan in the second tier, scoring 9 times across the season. This year he has stepped into the first team and has drawn interest from the big boys. Luckily, we have him locked down for 3+3 years. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he becomes influential just wait for the other teammates to say you should let him go, you then reluctantly let him go then the same players complain that you sold him I've had to sell so many players over the past few years that I'm at the first time with no angry players for maybe 4 seasons. Hjulmand 11a kicked up a fuss, got transfer listed on request, then got over it. He won't sign a new deal and will leave on a free next year most likely, but I'll take my victories. Luckily we managed to have Nedergaard 11d get over his anger and we immediately inked him for 5 years with a massive wage. All our stars aside from Hjulmand 11a are contracted for at least the next 2 years since this year we increased our reputation/had enough success that they all would renew deals without a release clause.

Popular Post DazRTaylor Posted April 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) End of Season Review Season 2042/43 Macclesfield Season Summary It is the hope that kills. A promotion playoff final defeat at Wembley was devastating. There were no cup runs of note. Season Details League Table - After being in the top two for twenty four weeks, over half of the season, it was heartbreaking to have to settle for the playoffs. League Fixtures 1 & 2 - We enjoyed long runs of victories mixed in with some mediocre form. Promotion Playoffs - A fabulous comeback from two goals down against Stoke City in the semi final set up a final against Reading where, despite leading, we crashed to a narrow defeat. F. A. Cup - A narrow home to defeat to fellow Championship side Everton in the fourth round put paid to any chance we had of a repeat cup run. Carabao Cup - We were obliterated at home by giants Manchester United in the third round, ending our interest in the competition for another season. Friendlies - We struggled somewhat during pre season as we were defeated four times. Squad - We continue to improve year on year. Squad Dynamics - This is still rather good. Transfers In - None. Transfers Out 1, 2, 3 & 4 - Once again we had no major sales though some more players who I deemed not good enough departed, along with the usual amount of youngsters on loan. Youth Candidates - It was a terrific intake with generational talent Alex Donelon YP43A74 looking like a potential superstar. Finances - We once again lost a considerable sum of money. Our new stadium, which arrives imminently, should help. Key Players Craig Reid YP32B99 - The Scottish international was exceptional playing at centre half. Igor Van Hoecke YP35E150 - It was another stellar season from the Belgian central midfielder. Pablo Ewing YP34C132 - Predominently a left winger, the Jamaican international had a decent season. Nikolas Pontikos YP36B163 - The Cypriot international full back, in his first season as first choice, was excellent. Kevin Dougill YP35B147 - The Republic of Ireland international right winger was good enough, though he is capable of a lot more. Next Season I think we overachieved this year so will be more than happy with another promotion playoff appearance.

Popular Post XaW Posted April 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2023 XaW - Cardiff Draconians - Season 2032/33 (Season 10) - JD Cymru Premier Squad | Transfers | Finances Wow, what a season. The domestic treble, and a long foray into Europe! I can't really ask for more than that at this stage. The most important thing this season, though, is this: That's right, we are joining TNS as the 2nd professional team in Wales! This has been the goal for a while, and finally it happened. Now I need to keep winning and slowly make progress in Europe, while still holding the mantel in Wales. The fixture congestion was insane this season, as we played almost 40 matches before the newyear! So a lot of rotation was needed. Hopefully, with us being professional next season, it will be mitigated a bit. I also got some other improvements going: Champions League: Our debut in the Champions League was a short one, as HJK of Finland was too much for us and we lost in the 1st qualifying round.Europa Conference League: With the swift exit in the CL, we were put into the Europa Conference again. Here we beat Budućnost Podgorica of Montenegro and Havnar Bóltfelag of the Faroe Islands to get into the group stage. I think we got a pretty tough draw when our opponents were Čukarički Stankom of Serbia, OB of Denmark, LASK of Austria, giants Dortmund of Germany, FCSB of Romania, and Anderlecht of Belgium. We did manage a single draw against OB and lost the rest. In the end we finished 35th of 36 teams and got knocked out. Scottish Challenge Cup: Yes, we entered a Scottish cup. Apparently, this cup invites other teams from around UK and Ireland, and we got invited this seaason. We lost to Arbroath and got knocked out of the 3rd round. Welsh Cup: We beat Trefelin, Afan Lido, Gresford, Pontypridd, and Flint Town to reach the final. There we beat TNS to retain the trophy.League Cup: We beat Cambrian & Clydach, Penybont, Haverfordwest, and Llandudno to reach the final. There we beat Pontypridd on pens to fill out the trophy cabinet. Around the world U19s They again finished 1st in the Cymru Premier Development League (South) this season and went on to the playoff final. There they beat TNS to retain the title. Welsh Youth Cup: They beat Pontypridd, Bala Town, Afan Lido, Gresford, and Aberystwyth Town to reach the final. There they beat Queens Park (WXM) to retain it.

The_Gato_In_Goal Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Brønshøj BK - Youth Intake Season 16 Another solid intake with lots of depth, but few clear stars. That's ok since, at this stage, the club needs depth to compete in multiple competitions year-in-year-out. Another GK... I wish he was taller and can shoot, but there's a chance we lose both our AMCs next summer so I'll take the depth. Another option for the wings who should develop well, has all the good signs. We only have 1 DL at the club, so a solid rotation option was desperately needed. Doesn't have high potential, but looks solid already. We're pretty deep in the midfield at the moment, but if he develops, I won't complain. Am going to retrain as a DR since he's right footed and has 15 crossing. Next 3 have little potential, but I want to stock my youth teams with some depth and good personalities. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gato_In_Goal Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Of course the NXGN is a bit silly with how it's calculated, but it's amusing we have the top 3 players. Also amusing that Sharbini 12i was last on the list 2 years ago, missed the list last year, and is now 3rd. Everyone is contracted for a minimum of 2 seasons, although Rami 12b has a $10M release clause that could be hit. It was a choice of accepting that or having his contract expire this year.

libbyshuss Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Aachen - Germany 3.Liga - 2027/28 (season 5) Season Summary A fantastic season! we started strong. had a great run mid-season and were top for a long time. But there was a very big chasing pack, with 6 of us never more than 4 points away from each other. A dodgy run of only 3 wins in 12 after christmas threatened to derail our season but luckily all those around dropped points too. With one game to go we were third and had to go away to second placed Dortmund II. Win, and we'd leapfrog them and go up autmotacially. Lose, and other results could mean we slip to as low as 6th. So it was all to play for! And...... we had three first teamers out, had to give a debut to a 17 year old in midfield and really struggled. But they could not score! We scored a phenomonal goal halfway through the first half. A long free kick into the box finished with an overhead kick! My Movie.mp4 Second half they put us under the kosh, 64th minute they got a penalty, missed it, and it looked like it might be our day. Against all odds, it was! We were going up!!!! Cup - got through to second round where Wolfsburg battered us. We still got a long way to go! Players Weirdly, our breakthrough star was kinda disappointing in his first full season. Colin Nieheus 25D only scored 19 goals and got 13 assists from the right hand side of a front three! but the way he broke through last season you'd have thought he would carry us this season, but it wasn't really like that at all. The board accepted a 400k offer for him in the summer which i managed to fight off. Immediately signed him on a 5 year contract with 2 year optional extension! We lost our best defender last season as well. Aki Johansson 24D stepped up and did pretty well. made his Finland debut at the end of the season! youth Weird one this. 5 star golden generation but only C grade predictions. So I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of elite talents that popped up! the best one, once personalities taken into account, is this fella. Two of those elites are fickle, and i hate those fickle feckers. Finances and Upgrades Hopefully promotion can start helping us to clear our debt and actually afford to make some improvements! Would be nice! Career So the first goal is to try and stay up. I have a feeling it'll be trickybut anything above the relegation spots will be a massive win for us 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennuk Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Season 1 - Badak Lampung FC - Indonesian league Two - So it begins.... Lampung is a relatively small province in Summatra (just across the water from the Indonesian capital of Jakarta). Famous for nature reserves, endangered species and backpackers.....but not so much it's football. Let's change that! It doesn't seem like a bad start. A good stadium and a decent budget for this level. BUT it doesn't seem like we have much of a squad. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Barnsley Posted April 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2023 FC United - 2053 Well, well well. 30seasons - I have finally completed the challenge!!! Hope I make the Hall of Fame wall! We ran out 3-1 winners in the champions league final against City (who won the league), I came 2nd. (Won league previous season) Absolutely over the moon, with this challenge and the fact I have stuck with this from the start. first time doing something of this magnitude and I feel the biggest achievement of any FM, (have been playing since CM97-98!) Bit of a photo dump here. Next Steps, not sure to be honest. Would like to win more trophies, but also the squad only has 13-14 players who are good enough to compete - Potentially I may go on a spree and sign 10-15, 16-17year olds and go on a rampage with the cash! Manager Stats: (ignore the 2 players signed, these were signed on Holiday in the first pre-season as i forgot to turn that option off, instant released - I holiday pre-seasons due to no requirement to be there and speed!) The Cabinet: Yep, not much - performance in the two domestic cups have been shocking throughout! But squad depth isn't enough to complete all around. CL final,totally dominated them from start to finish I was top for the first few games, but City were top from about game 7 all the way. Couldnt keep up with the size of my squad compared totheirs with all the games. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
